My resource libraries tin travel accessed using the tabs at the top of the page. I update these libraries whenever I discovery a especially goodness complimentary resource. I also produce regular maintenance to take away broken links. I promise that my libraries assistance to cut teachers' workload past times giving them quick, tardily access to goodness resources.

The most visited page is Algebra which lists algebra resources for Key Stage 3 as well as 4. The resources are grouped past times topic.

It's a shame that my Core A2 page doesn't larn to a greater extent than visits - at that spot aren't many online banks of Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade resources as well as I intend there's some actually useful materials here. I travel it all the fourth dimension when I'm planning Year thirteen lessons. In 2 years it has exclusively had 7,000 visits (compared to 42,000 for the algebra page) which suggests that most Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 grade teachers either don't know most it or don't need it.

If you lot haven't read Ideas from Shanghai then delight produce own got a look. I wrote it at a fourth dimension of much opposition (on Twitter, at least) to Maths Hubs.

My favourite weblog post - because I enjoyed writing it thence much - is The Joy of Planning. I wrote it at a fourth dimension when some prominent bloggers were suggesting that teachers should deliver scripted lessons.

Most of my posts are most ideas as well as resources that you lot tin travel inwards the classroom only sometimes I write persuasion pieces, for lawsuit my post Worries is most recruitment concerns as well as curriculum change.

I desire my weblog to travel a primary root of back upward for teaching the novel GCSE specification thence I've worked difficult to get together together resources as well as back upward on this real life graphs, tangents as well as areassequences, inequalities and quadratic graphs.

On a light-hearted note, my pages Mathsy Gifts as well as Words to Avoid always heighten a smile.

Spin-offs

Another projection was my Misconceptions website. The thought was that people ship me photos of educatee misconceptions which I collate as well as publish. This would travel useful for novel teachers, for lawsuit if it's your commencement fourth dimension teaching indices you lot tin hold off at all the indices misconceptions to assistance you lot project design effectively. People sent me loads of nifty examples only I had to surrender on the projection really early because it's impossible to piece of work part-time, woman raise 2 children as well as run 3 websites! It could travel automated (ie people could upload photos directly) only I don't own got the fourth dimension or expertise to brand that happen. If anyone wants to own got command of this projection I'm happy to travel past times it over.

Another projection involved pulling together collections of problems relating to specific topics - for lawsuit a gear upward of problems that involve Pythagoras' Theorem. There's v sets here and I promise to brand some to a greater extent than over summer.
